A Database for Selecting CIM Tools

Objective

By providing an up-to-date, high-quality and flexible database on all available CIM components, CIMDATA aims to accelerate and optimise the users' search for the most appropriate CIM component. It allows the user to compare a number of selected components on the basis of sufficient details for an informed decision.

The database aims to cover the complete area of CIM, including information on the integration possibilities between CIM components. This makes CIMDATA an ideal tool for selecting CIM components in the wider framework of an integration strategy.

The development of CIMDATA has required substantial interaction amongst the recognised experts in various CIM areas. This has in turn promoted a common understanding of the issues involved and has been fundamental to the process of classification of CIM components. This classification procedures is based on European standards, using unique and predefined parameters.
